Ella is four years old.
This is her Mommy, Brandi.
Ella: I'm hungry.
Brandi: Well, it's almost bedtime.
Ella: But I'm hungry, Momma.
Brandi: OK , let's see what we can find..here's a kid's frozen dinner! Hmmmm, Mac & Cheese!
Ella: And a brownie!!!!!!!
Brandi: No, it's almost bedtime and you shouldn't have anything sweet. We'll save it for tomorrow, OK?
Ella: NO, I want it now.
Brandi: NO, let's save it for tomorrow, 'K?
Ella:(being determined) But I want to eat it now...
Brandi: (being frustrated) No, it says right here on the box, "Do not eat brownie right before bedtime..."
Ella: Where does it say "bedtime"? I wanna see ...
Ella: Show me...
Brandi: Ella, it says it on the box...
Ella: Momma, I want to see 'bedtime'...
Brandi: (feeling guilty for lying, frustrated that she is "caught", and a little intimidated by a .....FOUR YEAR OLD)....
What's that Johnny? You need to talk to me in the living room?...Daddy needs to see Momma right now Ella..
Ella: But Momma, I don't see 'bedtime'...
Brandi: Johnny, a little help here?...
Johnny: Ella, eat your Mac & Cheese...
Ella: OK, but I still don;t see 'bedtime' on this box...
Me: Oh Brandi, remember when I told you that someday, someday you'd regret all the bad behavior you showed me??

Ahhhh! I see the Irish place the same curse/blessing on their children as the Welch, Germans and Italians! The old "I hope when you grow up you have one JUST like you!". I have bestowed that blessing upon my son on numerous occasions - something I'm sure my future d-i-l will thank me for one day.
Thanks for keeping me smiling!
Blessings!
